Pelacarsen Failed To Meet Its Primary Endpoint, But The Science Keeps Going
Send us Fan Mail Cardiologists Dr. Seth Baum and Dr. Michael Koren discuss the newly released top-line results from a big Lp(a) study investigating the effects of the drug pelacarsen. They talk about what Lp(a) is, why it matters, happened in the study, and what this means for other pelacarsen and Lp(a) studies worldwide. They take a deep dive into some of the factors that can reduce the effectiveness of clinical trials and explain that this particular failure doesn't undermine the theory behind controlling Lp(a) levels or the potential effectiveness of competing investigational medications. Finally, the companion cardiologists talk about what this means for people who have high Lp(a) and what they can do to help control their risks of associated heart problems.

PCOS to PMOS, Changes in Name and Treatment Options
Send us Fan Mail OBGYN Dr. Richard Myers joins Dr. Erich Schramm to discuss the name change from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This syndrome is the combination of three parts: increased polyendocrine hormones (like insulin and androgens), changing metabolism, and differences in ovarian function Dr. Myers explains that the name change to PMOS reflects the changing understanding and focus of the syndrome from a purely ovarian-centered approach to a more holistic, full-body treatment regimen. The doctors also discuss how different patient desires drive different treatment options and the need for individualized, patient-centered care. They finish by looking at new treatments, including GLP-1 and GIP medications that can help address the underlying metabolic components of the PMOS.

Skin Deep: What's New in Treating Chronic Skin Conditions
Send us Fan Mail Dermatologist Dr. Michael Bernhardt joins Dr. Mitchell Rothstein to discuss the rapidly changing and improving world of chronic skin condition. The two doctors discuss the correlation between chronic skin conditions and allergies, and the role that inflammation play in both. The docs then dive deep into our inflammation system. This informs the next section of the podcast, where the Drs. Bernhardt and Rothstein talk about the landscape of chronic skin condition medications. They explain that these conditions had poor outcomes and ineffective medicines for decades, and that this picture has only changed in the last 4-5 years with new medications that work from the inside out instead of the outside in. They talk about new generations of medication that target the inflammatory signals themselves inside the body, showing rapid relief to otherwise untreatable conditions.

Diet Soda, Dementia & Forever Chemicals: What the Research Really Shows
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of MedEvidence, host Dr. Michael Koren speaks with epidemiologist Dr. Hannah Gardener about how everyday exposures may influence long-term health outcomes. Dr. Gardener shares her journey from neuroscience and epidemiology training at Harvard to her current work studying stroke, dementia, and environmental risk factors. She explains how personal life experiences sparked her interest in environmental health and led her to examine how early-life and daily exposures can shape disease risk across the lifespan. The conversation explores her research on diet soda consumption and its surprising associations with vascular outcomes, including stroke, heart disease, and cognitive decline. She breaks down what “prospective cohort studies” really mean and how to interpret findings without overgeneralizing results. The discussion then expands to PFAS, often called “forever chemicals”, which are widely used in consumer products and persist in the environment and human body. Dr. Gardener explains where these chemicals are found, what health effects have been observed in the research, and practical, evidence-based strategies individuals can use to reduce exposure. This episode offers a thoughtful, research-driven look at how environmental factors, diet choices, and chemical exposures intersect with long-term brain and cardiovascular health—and what can realistically be done today to reduce risk.
